Dear oishik2910,I'm happy to respond.
My friend, I have a few things to say. First of all, congratulations on a very strong Quant performance! While you should continue to practice quant problems, you need little help on that side. The verbal score of 30 is OK but would need to be stronger for a elite 700+ score.
First suggestion: develop a habit of reading. Read real-world business news every day. Study the arguments made in the real world.
See these blogs:

I will also say that, if you sign up for Magoosh, you would qualify for our score guarantee. In your case, that would be a 700 or a full refund of the price. Here's a sample verbal lesson:
The Missing Verb Mistake
Here's a sample CR question:
Mountain County and Sunrise
When you submit your answer, the following page will have a video explanation of the problem. Each one of Magoosh's 1000+ GMAT practice questions has its own VE: that immediate feedback is exactly what will accelerate your learning and bring your score into the elite territory.
Please let me know if you have any questions.

Hi oishik, generally during the exam, the average time spent on SC (for most people) is less than the time spent on RC and CR. In your case, the average time spent on SC is the most, while average time spent on RC is the least.
Now, people do have their strengths and weaknesses, and so, one might argue that this cannot be a universal truth. Fair enough; but in your case, RC does not seem to be a strength; in fact, it looks like the reason for your low score in RC could be that you seem to have rushed through RC (just 1.35 minutes per question; normally students take around 2 minutes per question).
So, a more balanced time management is definitely coming out as a loud and clear message from your ESR.
